chuteless 1 #2 April 7, 2014 Just make it appear that you aren't breaking them. I do agree, rules were made to be bent, broken, and sometimes disregarded in favor of something else. Know your limitations. If you are a beginner, then wait until you have learned what you can break and what you cant. Just don't break bones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StreetScooby 5 #3 April 7, 2014 Meh... If you're interested in a widely accepted personality test, check out Myers-Briggs. You can take the short test here: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp Descriptions of the 16 types can be found here: http://www.humanmetrics.com/hr/you/personalitytype.aspxWe are all engines of karma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 14 #6 April 8, 2014 Risk taking?? Dunno. Now that I'm much older I'm less inclined to risk anything. Still like to jump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoCalJumper 0 #10 April 8, 2014 Walter White said it best in the final episode of Breaking Bad when having his final conversation with his wife. He did it because he liked it, and he was good at it. Skydivers do it for the same reason..... to feel alive. It's a human condition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
